I am not a big fan of wikipedia links for definitions of tags, because wp pages change, and have a different scope. Better copy those parts from the article that are relevant for osm.

<pre>I agree that a basic definition of a key/value should be in OSM. But some want more information, and wikipedia is one place they seek that information from. </pre>
<pre>
An example of what I have; </pre>
<pre>
tag: produce=timber description: Trees harvested for <b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timber" class="extiw" title="wikipedia:Timber">timber</a></b>, called 'lumber' in north America. Further processing results in sawn wood, wood chips, paper.</pre>
<pre>
only timber has a wikipedia link here .. and that link is redirected by wikipedia to lumber ... </pre>
<pre>
I do not want to define timber here.. it is the harvesting of the trees and the direction of the produce that is important here, not the end product.
